Does it have a light indicator, when its in recording mode? Or does it make noises, when battery is low? (Many cams have these oxymoronic feature)

It does have a green light on the side that flashes when recording. I covered mine with electrical tape. As for the noises, no I have never heard it make any noises when the battery is low.

It does have a very small light indicator that shows when it is recording (green) and when it needs to be charged (orange). It doesnt make any noise.

Mine didn't seem to work at ALL. I have no idea, but I don't think this is a quality piece of machinery.

The software from the company allows you to customize the behavior of the single side-mounted LED. When placed on the "custom settings" slider, the LED can be set to only be active the first 10 seconds of the recording process, to confirm it's started. Then the LED goes dark and stays dark until battery death. The default behavior is a green LED for "ON" and a yellow/red error color displayed briefly for certain faults. It has no sound output of any kind that I've ever discovered.

The sound records on the videos OK and I can hear it when I upload them to my computer. But the camera itself makes no sounds whatsoever -- no video playback sound, no shutter sound, etc., despite what the camera settings are. It's almost as if its own speaker is not connected / broken.

When the red light turns off, you camera is fully charged, I believe. No green light!

Not that I'm aware of. Once you turn it on and wait 5-7 seconds, it starts recording.

There are no markers indicating it is a camera. It is very, very small but just looks like an alarm clock. However I did catch two people eyeing it suspiciously while recording. I hope it wasn't making noise - doesn't make noise for me when recording.

It may be defective the one I have has a decent black and white image at night. You most likely won't see a light from it it records using infra red lighting at night. If it's not recording anything you pro bubbly have a bad camera.

It starts recording when power is supplied. Works great if your lighter socket is not powered when the key is off, otherwise you may want to hard wire it to an switched accessory tap on your fuse box.

It has a motion sensor that activate recording as soon the vehicle starts running. I don't use it, because it causes the camera to stop recording while in a red light.

No noise and just a red glow. I've got 6 of these and love them. The bigger bucks seem to pay it less attention than yearlings and does for some reason. The runaway shutter only happens on mine when the batteries are low.

Video is constant when parent unit is plugged in to outlet only. When operating on battery, after a few minutes the video turns off, and you have to push a button to turn on the video -- video on my unit does not come on with noise/sound.

Yes, there is a button on the lower right corner of the camera. It announces when the audio record is off once you push it

Yes, you get a light signal when battery needs recharging and there is another light signal when it has finished charging. There is no "low battery" notice though. So its use it until the battery is done. Might be in the middle of a session.

Mine does not either. However, it still may be secure. The only way to tel is to plug it in, power it up, and hit the record. You may want to wait after powering up for it to complete booting. LED lights should be stable. Click the record button, if the red LED does not blink, then you have a bad, sd card, or the it is not seating properly, or the camera board is bad. If it blinks, then you are good and off to the races !, just make sure you click the button before taking power off (disconnecting battery) or you will see a corrupt image file on the SD card

Mine is ok at night because any motion that triggered the recording feature also triggered my motion light in the area of camera focus. I have mine set to the ultimate focus for the area it covers,but I don't believe you can alter the focus once it has been recorded.

If the battery is completely empty, it may need a few minutes to get enough of a charge to start recording. It does, however, record normally when hooked up for charging.

There is a small built-in microphone at the bottom side of the camera. Also check to be sure that sound is enabled on the menu screen before recording.

Your turning it off. Click button one time orange light should come on. That's pause. Click it again blue light comes on. Its recording.
